Ryan Russell and I had seen each other at a ton of DEFCON hacking conferences, and we talked about interviewing him for GET LAMP for quite a while. As it was, we finally found ourselves in the same place one year and I interviewed him for a while about his time as a playtester for Synapse software, and other related work.
And then I lost the footage, due to a technical error.
I let Ryan know about it, and he was happy to shoot it all again, because now he got a second bite to be more literate and informed in his answers. And he was! The interview went off smoothly and pieces of it are everywhere in GET LAMP, including the hilarious DRINK ME story that ended up as a bonus feature.
